^^^^^^Does anyone know what day they review NFA applicants this month?
^^^^^^Does anyone know what day they review NFA applicants this month?
According to MSAR, LSU-NO interviewed 533 students and last year and 195 of them matriculated. Given that most matriculants were NFA'd at first, it's probably more likely to get NFA'd following the interview. Those applicants who do get acceptances right away are likely stellar and have acceptances all over the country, which would explain why there's so much waitlist movement (NFA acceptances) after April 30th.Does anyone know how likely it is to get accepted after an interview vs. get an NFA? And is the main factor in deciding if someone gets accepted or NFA based on the interview or stats?
There is no way to know. As someone who interviewed last year and did not get in, I can offer you some insight. Last year, I got an interview late in the cycle- ultimately getting two NFA emails prior to my rejection letter. The last week of February is when I received my "advocacy meeting decision", during which they decided to keep me NFA (this is the last meeting prior to the final meeting in April). LSU has consistently told me "the majority of students who are eventually accepted into LSU SOM receive their notifications of acceptance after a subsequent review by the committee". So with that being said, it seems more likely for most to get accepted after being NFA.Does anyone know how likely it is to get accepted after an interview vs. get an NFA?

When choose your medical school tool opens which I think next week, you’ll see it. You can commit starting then.as for deposit, LSU NOLA doesn’t require one to hold your seat so that’s set.Does anyone know how long it takes to see your acceptances in AMCAS? Like how do you pay the deposit and commit to attending a school?
just called the admissions office and it’s tomorrow 🫣🫣Any recent interviewees know when the NFA meeting is this month? 🙂
Well **** 😂 so much for a weekend with no anxietyjust called the admissions office and it’s tomorrow 🫣🫣
oh damn 😭 thank you so much for calling. did they say if we would hear tomorrow or monday?just called the admissions office and it’s tomorrow 🫣🫣
didn’t say! but historically seems like it’s the following monday?oh damn 😭 thank you so much for calling. did they say if we would hear tomorrow or monday?
One of my friends got in and said there are like 100ish people in the groupme so that probably leaves like 60-90 spots I guess depending on the class size.Does anyone know what % of the class usually gets filled after the NFA meeting?
NAH FRsending the md/mph email was so evil 😭
they could’ve communicated that to us :|okay so my friend called the admissions office and they confirmed the NFA meeting was this past friday and applicants should be hearing back “before mardi gras” … :^|
Virtual!Are interviews in person or virtual?
Congrats!!!IS A today!! after being NFA'd 2/3
According to previous years, yes.If you were NFA’d, when the committee meets even if they don’t make a decision will they let you know you were NFA’d again?
Unfortunately I’m just gonna assume that since I didn’t hear anything today that I’m NFA againCongrats again to the A’s so far!! Does anyone know if all decisions are sent simultaneously? Or are they sort of staggered
I heard from my friend who's a first year to give them 2 weeks for your update!!Unfortunately I’m just gonna assume that since I didn’t hear anything today that I’m NFA again
Congrats on your A! 🙂 Is your AMCAS choose your med school tool for the school already there? Just curious!I heard from my friend who's a first year to give them 2 weeks for your update!!
I believe they meant 2 weeks after the NFA meeting. I was reading threads from previous years and I also saw something similar mentioned about them sending decisions within 2 weeks of the meeting.2 weeks after your interview? bc it's been like 3 months for me
thanks so much for this insight 🥹! and congrats on your A, future doc!IS A yesterday! NFA 12/16. Re-applicant
As a re-applicant from last year and someone who was NFA'd multiple times last year...
1. Yes the committee will always let you know if you were NFA'd again at the most recent meeting. I'm pretty sure they report to you any time your application is discussed.
2. Last year, the A's did not all go at once. I know it's impossible - but try not to assume anything until you actually hear from them.
3. Updates are not sent based on your interview date; it is based on the committees scheduled meetings. So give 2 weeks after the committee meeting for an update. (The last meeting for us was 2/14)
Lastly, I just want to encourage everyone to keep faith and not lose hope. I had to hang onto hope a year longer than I wanted to, but it all worked out in the end. This process is insane on the psyche, so make sure y'all are taking care of yourselves.
Congrats to all the A's and best of luck for the A's to come!
Just checked and yes!!Congrats on your A! 🙂 Is your AMCAS choose your med school tool for the school already there? Just curious!
🤞fingers crossed sometime soon! at this point, whether it’s an A or a NFA again, i just want some kind of an update 😭Think they'll send out more decisions today?
Seriously, this waiting is brutal....🤞fingers crossed sometime soon! at this point, whether it’s an A or a NFA again, i just want some kind of an update 😭
I don’t think they ever mentioned anything about itThis is more so directed at anyone else who interviewed in February: do you guys remember if they said they are meeting at the end of the month for those who interviewed in Feb or if they wait until the next big meeting in April that they mentioned?
+1, yippee!NFA again. pain
same here after NFA 2/3. no idea, I know they said they have another large advocacy meeting in April but I believe we can still be accepted at any time per the email 🤷🏼♀️NFA again today. Anyone know when the next meeting is?
Same here I suppose. Also may not have had enough volunteering hours and maybe writing? Who knows lol.sigh +1 NFA again after NFA 11/26. no surprise at this point after that wait lol. For others who were NFA’d more than once, do you all have an idea/guess as to why? Or better yet, do you all feel that there may be certain aspects of your app/how your II went that may be causing them to arrive at this decision again? For me personally I feel like my mcat score is holding me back. Just wanted to know if others felt the same
